A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION SOCIETY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT LAW SCHOOL (r)
So who was in charge of ordering up the glorious weather?Could it have been the same LWV people who developed the partnership for this Conference
with the University of Connecticut's outstanding Law School, and its American Constitution Society?

One of the things the League of Women Voters does is start their events on time.Moderator Carole
Mulready of the Greater Hartford LWV presided (after Anita Peters
instructed audience members having smart phones on how to respond interactively
to what they were hearing...). Who said the LWV isn't with it
when it comes to technology? After this initial tech check, the
program began...

Intellects on display - awesome panel!!! The unfortunate ineffectiveness of Campaign
Finance reform, and "dark money" influence on campaigns and
candidates...noted by speaker (r).Why do you think
off-year and odd-numbered year election cycles were discussed
extensively? After
many years of efforts intended to make it easier for elections to be
administered and for people to vote in them, thus encouraging higher
percentage turnouts, the panel seemed to be
saying that those using the convenience of "early voting" and "no fault"
absentee rules...were those who usually vote anyway! My own take on
what they said was that the poor and the less well educated vote if they can see results of folks paying attention to them once they are elected...this is what I concluded - not the opinion of anybody else!

In the Moot Court Classroom #2 there is video and audio capability and a sound booth that may control systems remotely.

FALL CONFERENCE IN FULL SWING!Note audience members taking notes, and questions submitted for Q&A being reviewed...

University of Connecticut Law School students in attendance!And wait a minute - hold the 'phone!!! "Voting fraud, voting
suppression" as a topic seems to have brought out those who really,
really care about elections - and we heard one attendee say she was glad to hear
about the impacts of various "improvements" that have been made
over the years, and how maybe the Legislature should revisit centralizing power over elections in some respects!

Congratulations to our President!That's the LWVCT President, seated front row (l)!!! And
Vice-President (c) and others who worked so hard to pull off TWO Fall
Conferences on this primo issue for League!!!
